Costume thoughts: I absolutely loved the design by and thought it was a great stylish translation of an Iconic character. I created the full costume, using luxurious fabrics such as dupioni silk and silk taffeta. All the trims and swirls are embroidered on, free hand. I had a lot of fun making the charms, hair buns and spike wristlets. I read the spikes in the design artwork as ivory or marble instead of metal, and in keeping with the turn of the century art nouveau style, my spikes are an opalescent ivory color. Some people remarked that it looks like I'm not wearing underwear - well, I am wearing 3 pairs of tights so I am decent lol. Again, it's to follow the art design accurately.I also cut up a pair of white pleather boots and embroidered the gold swirls on that. The charms and the boots might be my favorite part on this costume!

I think that this is an awkward pose for her. The costume's great, but because of the pose she's in (or maybe the retouching, I'm not sure) her head looks out of place, like it was photoshopped onto the body. Also, her stance is almost too relaxed, too lazy, accented even more so by her looking off to the side. She looks more bored by posing than anything else.

A great picture wasted by some heavy editing on photoshop (as far as I can see). That leg.... I know you have nice legs from your other pics so why those feel like somebody overdid it on photoshop, it hurts my eyes. Overall, it s a great costume though... Yaya Han >> Chun Li
